Re: Seeking advice
You also have the option to work with a server written in a modern scripting language like Python, Ruby, or JavaScript (node.js). Evennia seems like a really strong offering in the Python department, and I recently published early builds of a pretty feature-full node.js framework.
Using a scripting language makes a lot of things easier and faster in a MUD server, especially given your focus on scripting mobiles and finding "a hobby that might also translate into an applicable real-life skillset". All three frameworks are pretty hot, and great to have on a resume.
You're not wrong that the details of your idea are separate from your choice of codebase, but that's assuming that you're looking for a really barebone one. Some servers come with more than the basics, and are especially good at fast-tracking certain types of games. So if you can share some broad strokes, folks may be able to give you a better recommendation.
